Hoffman (1887 - 1966) studied under Auguste Rodin while in Europe. In 1930, she was commissioned to sculpt and cast bronze figures of peoples around the world for the ''Hall of Man'' exhibit in Chicago's Field Museum. The project took five years to complete. This piece is from the ''Races of Man'' series which consisted of 104 busts & life-size figures.
